Aerodynamics of a bug

zen · #1 March 16th 2005, 15:36

jimby,

seeing as everyone will have slightly different answers to those questions, maybe we could make that spreadsheet available to others (assuming it is not proprietary)? you could just attach in a post. not like i have a lot of time, but i would be interested in converting that to a HTML tool. frankly, i would like to do that for many tools (offset tool, gearing, etc). having an tool section with stuff like that would prove to be huge value to many on here.

any programmers offering time to assist in conversions and development?

Has anyone actually got something concrete with Bug aerodynamics yet? There was a lot of good info but then it seemed to burn out.

LOL.

Actually, if it's added at the roof above (in front of) the rear window, it should provide some down-force. Getting the two curvatures to mesh might be an adventure, though.

Hi

If you just used the mechanism from the donor car and cut a roof section for the spoiler from another bug that would work.

Great! Now let's go smash up a crysler and steal the spoiler!

Seriously...aren't those kinda pricy?
